There were 2 different versions of this LP, each with slightly different tracks. The CD contains all tracks from both versions.
Led by singer-guitarist Peter Green, the first version of Fleetwood Mac was one of England's premier bands and possibly the greatest white blues band ever to emerge from the '60s blues revival. 1969's THEN PLAY ON is their best album and Green's pinnacle achievement. Heavily influenced by Otis Rush, Green had an unusually lyrical style for a blues musician, able to draw on flamenco, folk, even classical guitar--all of which make an appearance in the ambitious instrumental coda to his major opus, "Oh Well." Despite the inclusion of superior modern blues songs like "Rattlesnake Shake" and "Show-Biz Blues," THEN PLAY ON is notable for its instrumentals. Standout cuts range from the dream-like voyages "My Dream" and "Underway" to virtuosic three-guitar jams like "Searching For Madge" and "Fighting For Madge," both of which feature Green's inspired guitar work.
Additional personnel includes: Christine Perfect (background vocals).
Live Recording
Fleetwood Mac: Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwin (vocals, guitar); John McVie (bass); Mick Fleetwood (drums).
Then Play On Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Why not remastered
This is an absolute classic. It is a crying shame that it has never been remastered. The tracklisting for the currently available CD, which sounds terribly bad, is the US version. On the original UK release "Oh Well" was not included, however "One Sunny Day" and "Without You" were included. Running order is also different. Remastered, with original running order plus as bonus tracks "Oh Well" and possibly "The Green Manalishi" this would be a definite 5 star cd.

Guess it's worth the price of admission just for the incomparable "Oh Well". One of the classic tunes of the era, and relatively unknown. Crank that bad boy up!!

Not too many others than boomers or affcionados know the early F-Mac.
There is some really talented guitar and
innovative music in the early works.
This is a classic to "Play On".

The real star of BARE TREES is guitarist/vocalist Danny Kirwan, who contributes the gorgeous guitar instrumental "Sunny Side of Heaven" and "Bare Trees," a funky rocker that was a massive FM radio staple throughout the seventies. It was new guitarist Bob Welch, however, who wrote and sang the modest hit "Sentimental Lady," a haunting, ...

Released in 1973 and now regarded as an important transitional album in Fleetwood Mac's long march towards superstardom, MYSTERY TO ME featured the lineup of Mick Fleetwood, John and Christine McVie, singer/guitarist Bob Welch and guitarist Bob Weston. The hiring of Welch had angered original guitarist Danny Kirwan and after a 1972 gig, the volatile Kirwan went berserk backstage and was fired. On MYSTERY TO ME, the follow-up to PENGUIN (1973) and the band's strongest ...
| | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Then Play On album
$6.75 
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in ...
